Proud FQBA Members

The Mississippi River subsided below 13 feet on the Carrollton gauge, which means Entergy’s proactive, accelerated effort ahead of Phase II of the city’s French Quarter Infrastructure Improvements Project has begun. Crews started improving utility infrastructure in the 500-800 blocks of Bourbon Street this week.

Intersection Closure at St. Louis and Bourbon.

The corner of St. Louis and Bourbon streets will be asphalted and reopened today.

Dauphine

Dauphine, St Louis to Conti will be closed for one day – today from 8:30 am until 3 pm. The closure is for safety reasons while crews improve underground electric service at that intersection. Entergy will work with businesses to facilitate deliveries, trash pickup and access to parking garages.
